Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Drain excess fat before seasoning for a cleaner texture.
  • Add garlic after browning to prevent burning.
 
Make it yours
  • Use up to 1¼–1½ lb. ground beef for a more generous filling.
  • Add extra cheese for a cheesier result.
  • Swap olive oil topping for melted butter + garlic powder.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayo on the buns for extra softness.
  • Use pepper jack or any cheese you like.
  • Add ketchup and mustard for a more classic cheeseburger flavor.
  • Add 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce to the beef after draining the fat for more burger-like flavor.
  • Use brioche, dinner rolls, or Hawaiian rolls.
  • Use slider buns or mini sandwich rolls for a different texture.
 
At the table
  • Serve straight from the tray with fries, pickles, and shredded lettuce tossed with lemon juice and olive oil.
  • These are best eaten warm while the cheese is fully melted.
